Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 35: One Good Deed a Day

“Oh, oh.”

As a hunter, Su Hu had never been involved in the imperial court and had little understanding of dynastic affairs. He had no idea what the whole incident meant but felt that the agency assistant was mysteriously strange and frightening, so he gave up on hiring a servant.

He could not understand, but Su Qingluo was evident in her mind. Lord Wei must have been the one who admonished the Empress to kill the Honorary Baron a short time ago.

How could the offspring of a lord of loyalty and conscience be insulted wantonly in public?

“Mother,” she shouted sweetly and ran over toward Li Xiu’e.

“Hey,” replied Li Xiu’e with a smile, and she bent down to welcome her into her arms.

Su Qingluo pressed herself to Li Xiu’e’s ear and muttered.

“Mm-hmm.” Li Xiu’e nodded her head frequently.

After a short while, the two finished whispering. Then, Li Xiu’e walked to the broker woman and discussed the hiring of the mother and daughter.

The broker showed a rare fluke look, secretly thinking she had met a dumbhead and would dump the hot potato in her hands no matter the terms.

The price of official servants was lower than that of an ordinary servant in a normal family. Besides, the broker intended to get rid of them, so she lowered the price to 15 taels of silver for both the mother and daughter.

Li Xiu’e paid the silver, signed the contract, pinched the indentures of the mother and daughter in her hand, and calmly walked over to them.

“Sis, my daughter Yuyu said, ‘One good deed a day will bring blessing to our Su family.'”

She looked calm and kind, put the indenture into the woman’s hand, and quietly gave her five taels of silver.

“The good deed Yuyu asked us to do falls on you today. Sis, tear up the indenture, and you will no longer be a servant but a normal citizen from now on. Take the child and leave this place quickly.”

“Madam, my name is Wei Huiying. With my daughter, we thank you for your great kindness!”

The woman was so grateful that she pulled her little daughter to her knees and kowtowed to Li Xiu’e.

“Hey, hey, don’t do this. Get up.”

Li Xiu’e could not receive such a serious salute, so she took two steps back in shock. And when she recovered, she hurriedly bent down again to raise the mother and daughter up and warmly advised, “Sis, leave quickly. Don’t delay anymore. Beware of being targeted by bad people.”

“Thank you, madam.”

The woman was not pretentious. She wiped her tears, pulled her daughter, turned around, and left.

The little girl she was holding hands with clasped the scented sachet in her left hand and walked two steps with her mother before suddenly breaking free from her hand and running toward Su Qingluo.

“My name is Wei Shumin. Sister, what is your name?”

“Su Qingluo. Qing means the devastation of the country, and Luo means the falling of flowers.”

Su Qingluo smiled warmly with a pink face as if bathed in the light of the Buddha.

“Thank you for the scented sachet. I won’t forget you.”

Wei Shumin’s big eyes flooded with tears. She gave Qingluo an emotional glance before turning around to run toward her mother.

“Hu, there are several grannies over there. Which one do you think is better?”

Li Xiu’e sent away the mother and daughter, returned to the broker, and whispered to Su Hu.

“Let Yuyu decide.”

Su Hu smiled happily. “Our daughter always has a good idea. She even thinks of a good deed every day.”

Although he did not know the dynasty’s politics, he was stupid. He understood what was going on from Su Qingluo’s concern for the mother and daughter.

They were the family of a dead, loyal lord. Their family could only slightly show their respect for the lord by doing this, hoping it would accumulate blessings and shelter future generations.

“I’ll ask her.”

Li Xiu’e also had the intention of asking her daughter. As long as her youngest daughter was around, she and Su Hu would listen to her unanimously.

“Mother, just choose that granny.”

Su Qingluo wandered around the courtyard while holding the baby. She had already examined everyone’s expression and decided on the right candidate.
